Mobile Station Aggregation of Acknowledgments and Negative Acknowledgments in Wireless Networks

2. The mobile station of claim 1, wherein the ACK/NAK aggregation indicator is included in a transmission schedule which includes a schedule of one or more data bursts which will be received from the base station.

3. The mobile station of claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of ACK/NAK reports are transmitted at a predetermined time after reception of the two or more data bursts, wherein the predetermined time is indicated by the transmission schedule.

4. The mobile station of claim 1, wherein the range of possible values is (a) one, two, and three, or (b) two, three, and four.

5. The mobile station of claim 1, wherein each aggregated ACK/NAK report of the plurality of aggregated ACK/NAK reports includes orthogonal code words.

6. The mobile station of claim 1, wherein an uplink channel quality for the mobile station is determined.

7. The mobile station of claim 6, wherein the ACK/NAK aggregation indicator is based on the uplink channel quality for the mobile station.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the ACK/NAK aggregation indicator is included in a transmission schedule which includes a schedule of one or more data bursts which will be received from the base station.
